2tollers Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Are there any DOLers coming over from Tassie for the Ringwood comp? It's pretty exciting having them here for the first time. I'm not going to complain about having to travel from Ballarat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 They are on the ship now - which will give them a day to recover from being sea-sick if it's a rough crossing. Good luck Mornir and Co. (Come cheer for them: the Flyball Competition at the Ringwood Highland Games, Jubilee Park, Ringwood, Vic. Highland Pipe and Drum Bands and Highland Dancing comps all day also, massed bands display, clan info. - so plenty to look at for the day out whether you are Scots or not).

shoemonster Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Good on tassie today, it was great to have them there, and they are all really nice people, and have some great dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatevah Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great to see them and they got their first titles!!! Cost them $3,000 to do the comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clover Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 With Nationals being in NSWs next year i highly doubt i would be able to afford both sadly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBailey Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I would love to go but even with out Nats in NSW it would be a $$$ exersice. Well done to the Tassie guys for making the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menacebear Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If I could afford it then I would definatly be there but thats a pretty big IF. For a new team of inexperienced dogs and handlers who have never used the EJS i think they did great! We all know how scary it can be to run just one new dog on a team but a whole team of them....a thumbs up to them. Excellent effort from dogs and handlers.

shoemonster Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 My OH is already planning us going! He has wanted to go to tassie for ages so this would be perfect! He is also bugging me for a team tshirt! I think he is catching the flyball bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayreovi Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Is the Nationals in April? When were people thinking of going over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tollers Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I'd really like to go but of course it depends on $$$$. God I hate money. shoemonster your OH is a real sweetie. I've seen him baby sit, hold dogs, shagging, lifting the box in and out. I definitely think he deserves a t-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2tollers Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 Is the Nationals in April?When were people thinking of going over? The nationals are in October I think and the Tassie people were talking about holding their comp around this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Boy 2 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Yes, Nationals are 17th and 18th of October next year. We have a long time to wait for the next nats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mornir Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 wowee! thanks everyone! I wish I had thought to check out DOL before we went over! I could have finally put faces to names! oh well, I was a bit caught up in all the excitement of getting over there! We arrived home this morning and boy I have slept almost all day (as have the pooches)! We had an absolute blast and can't wait to do it all again! We are so thrilled that our doggies all got their FDs. It's very exciting for us because we have no comps here, so it's rare for a tassie dog to have an FD! All up I think each dog got 9 points on Sunday. So only 11 more until we get the next title It was great to meet you Possumcorner, you are lovely and thanks so much for getting some pics of us, every member of the team is thankful and commented on how wonderful you are Thanks to everyone that came and said hello and made us feel so special, everyone was just so lovely, welcoming and helpful. You have all given us so much to think about and we know we have some work to do to get our doggies up to scratch (especially my naughty Jamesy!) and now we have an idea of how to go about it! We'll be taking to training with great gusto now!! And if anyone knows what T'Keilor put in that fabulous punch I wanna know! haha I think there is talk of coming up in November for the 2 dayer, but it will all depend on our revenue raising capabilities as it cost in the vicinity of 2-3k to come over. And of course we are going to plan a comp in good ol Tassie next year. It's all up in the air at the moment but it will probably be around March. Thanks again and we'll see you all next time!

I definitely think he deserves a t-shirt. Yeah he is a good boy, I've trained him well, He's definately earned his tshirt! Mornir, was great to see you guys, would have been so so full on for you! You have some great dogs, and have done so well Congrats on the FD's too!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornir Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks! It was FULL ON! Safe to say that we didn't quite know what we had gotten ourselves into! hehe But we are out the other side now and can't wait to go back Our casual training sessions on a Sunday for the past 5 years is a much more relaxing way to do flyball, but just not as fun! ha!

lab'sandcav's Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I would love to go. But forgot about Nationals being in October as well. Makes it a very expensive Flyball year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Bet it's good to be home and feet up. It was fun to catch up (thanks the kind words) it was a great day, bit of a kaleidescope!! Here are two pups and the team: will get the very few other shots onto website in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
